I'm so old I still talk about 'dialing' a phone number. Not only that, I
remember when phone numbers had letter prefixes.

I'm old enough that I remember when milk came in glass bottles, and
was supposedly pasteurized, but we boiled it nevertheless. But that
was in a different country, and I have no idea why you'd need to shake
the carton in the States. Please explain.

Yeah, me too on the glass bottle. When I was growing up milk wasn't
"homogenized". There was a thick layer of cream at the top of each
bottle (my mother would pour most of that off to use in her coffee and
chicory). You had to shake the bottle to mix it up.

Oh gosh, me too - our exchange was "EdgeField" - I have no idea where or
what "Edgefield" was, it certainly wasn't the suburb we were living in,
"Chalmette".

I love this game, it brings back some great memories.

Also, it was delivered to our door, fresh from the dairy, every other
day. That was also back in the day hen even doctors made house called
to "deliver"! ;

I'm old enough to remember having to position a portable cassette
recorder next to the radio to record my favorite songs. I'd get mad
when the DJ talked over the song. Yes there were records, but no way to
get them to be portable.

I used to have a 5 digit telephone number.

45RPM and 33.5RPM (there was a third 'revolutions per minute' position,
but I never used it and can't remember what it was for). I loved the
vinyl records (I still say "album" rather than CD), scratches and all!
I had a "box" phonograph and I had to put a large plastic center piece
over the middle stem for 45s. It had the latest innovation - it would
automatically click and let down a record onto the turn-table so you
could stack up to 5 or 6 records and kick back and enjoy the tinny
sounding love songs!

Gosh, now I'm thinking about all the great music back then. I keep up
with the current singers and songs and I like most of it (everything
except Rap). But it just seems to me that now-a-days most singers rely
on their looks and on the recording studio to "mix" their voices - it's
rare that a singer can even play an instrument.
